What would you expect the average alcohol content in a mixed cocktail?

Nothing above 10%
Around 15-20%
Typically 40%
Varies widely based on ingredients

The correct answer is: Varies widely based on ingredients

The average alcohol content in a mixed cocktail can indeed vary widely based on the specific ingredients used. Different cocktails are made with varying amounts and types of alcohol, mixers, and flavoring agents. For instance, a cocktail that includes a higher proportion of spirits (such as vodka or rum) relative to non-alcoholic mixers will have a higher overall alcohol content. Conversely, drinks that are more mixer-heavy, such as those with fruit juices or soda, will have lower alcohol content. Thus, the variability in the composition of the cocktail directly affects the average alcohol content, making it a key factor to consider when discussing mixed drinks.
